Abstract

Two metrological tools for high frequency measurements of nanoscale systems are described: (i) tow/N-port analysis of nanoscale devices as well as (ii) near-field scanning microwave microscopy (NSMM) for materials characterization. Calibrated two/N-port measurements were made on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NWNT) welded to a coplanar waveguide. Significant changes inthe extracted high-frequency electrical response of the welded NWNT were measured when the contacts to the MWNT were modified. dditionally, NSMM was used to characterize films of nanotube soot deposited on copper and sapphire substrates. The material properties of the films showed a strong dependence on the substrate material.
